Steps

• To make the broccoli rabe balls, wash and clean the broccoli rabe and cook it in plenty of boiling water. Once cooked, drain it in a colander.

• Cut the scamorza into small cubes.

• Blend the broccoli rabe until it becomes a purée. Transfer it to a bowl and add the egg. Start to combine the ingredients, then add the grated cheese and the breadcrumbs. Salt and mix everything with a fork until you obtain a homogeneous, compact mixture.

• With your hands form balls the size of a walnut. Use your finger to create a small hollow in the center of each ball and place a cube of scamorza inside. Close each ball with your hands, compacting the edges so the scamorza remains inside.

• In a bowl beat the eggs with a fork and prepare two plates: put flour on one and breadcrumbs on the other. Dredge the balls in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs.

• Repeat the procedure twice so you obtain a thicker coating that will prevent the scamorza from leaking during cooking.

• Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 15 minutes, until golden. Serve hot — enjoy!
